Why do Subaru vehicles give such a smooth,
enjoyable drive? The answer is simple: Subaru engineers are some of the finest
in the world. It's not just you; Subaru vehicles really are different from the
rest under the hood, and that pays off out on the road. There are many
different technologies in each Subaru that help it deliver the best performance
possible.

The most famous of these is the Subaru symmetrical
all-wheel drive system. Standard in every Subaru vehicle (except for the
performance-oriented Subaru BRZ), AWD delivers power to all four wheels as
needed. The vehicle detects where power is needed and adjusts accordingly; if
one wheel is over a slippery spot on the road and has poor traction, your
Subaru will automatically lower the power delivered to that wheel and send it
to the other three. This also helps when taking tight corners. No matter what
conditions are like, Subaru vehicles deliver a smooth ride.

The boxer engine in each Subaru is also well known.
This is another part of what makes a Subaru so much more enjoyable to drive.
The pistons on a Subaru engine are on opposite sides of the engine, so the
vibration they each generates cancels itself out. Less engine vibration gives a
smoother ride, and even increases engine longevity. The boxer engine also makes
a Subaru safer in case of an accident. While a conventional engine and drive
train are often pushed in to the passenger area in a collision, the boxer
engine and special drivetrain layout in a Subaru are pushed away from the
passenger area.

Subaru helps increase fuel efficiency and engine
performance with their Continuously Variable Transmission. While standard
engines used a fixed set of gears, a CVT system has two hydraulically operated
adjustable pulleys connected by a chain. This allows the engine to move them
closer or farther as needed, and simulates the best gear at any speed. This not
only increases fuel efficiency, it even gives a smoother ride.
